So, I haven't actually been to Africa. But I spent over 6 months in SE Asia, including Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Bali.
First, as far as getting laid, I'd venture to say that Africa is easier. From what I understand, women will more or less chase you just from the fact that you're a foreigner. They really, really want someone to take them out of their country, so you'll more or less be chased. Note: Unverified, just what I hear.
In SE Asia, the attitude is very different. Women are either neutral towards foreigners, or guarded. They know you'll leave, they also know guys see them as a sex object. They also know foreigners look down on their culture. Few people foreigners truly try to learn Thai or Vietnamese; instead they land in the country and expect the women to speak English.
Yes, social circle would help. In Thailand, there's a social class called "HiSo" short for "High Society," very classy girls. They speak perfect English, but they're Thai. If you can get in that circle, you're golden for sure. You'll have a hard time getting into a real Asian social circle if you don't speak the language.
I'm not saying you can't pull in Asia, but I do think it's more difficult. Personal opinion; I know some tall white guys who find it super easy, so take it with a grain of salt.
As for crime, I'd say Africa is WAY WAY WAY more dangerous. SE Asia isn't really safe by any means - I got my ass beat over $.60 cents (20 baht,) and a friend of mine got surrounded by gangsters at a bar for talking to the wrong girl - But overall, SE Asia is safe enough. Africa is much more lawless and ruthless, I think.
I'll throw in one last opinion of mine, which is that moving to countries to get laid is overrated. I went to Thailand in part because people said it's easy to get laid there, then the same for Poland. I didn't think it was any easier. Right now I'm in London, which some people say is hard, but I'm going out hardcore and having some pretty great results. It's not where you are, it's what you're doing where you're doing and whether or not you're developing your social skills. So live where you want to live, rather than try to find the magical land of easy pussy.
Cheers
